| | Back Alley The back alley of Hosgmeade is not bright and happy like the bustling High Street that is usually flooded with people. The streets of Hogsmeade are clean, cheerfully lit, and full of chatter with the store fronts advertising their wares. However, the alley behind the shops is dark and actually pretty creepy. If you know anything at all about the school's history with the village, then you should know that this place is to be avoided.
For those who are testing their limits or were dared to venture here, they will find dozens of rubbish bins filled to the brim with scraps of food, wrappings, or broken merchandise from the shops. Rats and bugs of all sorts are a common sight in this less visited part of Hogsmeade. Should you find yourself dumpster diving, you might come across a boggart that has found refuge in one of the bins. If you weren't scared of this dank place before, the Boggart will surely take care of that. OOC: Please do not play for the Boggart.

| Lisa/Shivvy <3 connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow She didn't normally wear one because who could be bothered to carry around books all day, so the rucksack Cora wore on her back felt uncomfortable. It wasn't even her rucksack, she'd found it left behind in the Common Room and was only 'borrowing' it for a few hours. She'd return it. Whether the owner would want it back or not though.... well, that was a whole other story.
Having probably talked her ear off the whole way from the castle into the village, Cora tugged Siobhán into the back alley. Absolutely nothing suspicious about two young Gryffindors in a dimly lit, creepy back alley. Nothing at all. "Alright, we need to discuss strategy," the older Gryffindor said, readjusting the strap on her shoulder. It was HEAVIER than she had anticipated. "You know who the target is, yeah?"

TODAY WAS THE DAY! The Day.
Siobhán had worn ALL BLACK today because that's what you did right? When you were on a super secret, super shifty mission, that is. Yes, she was approximately three million percent sure that's what you wore on one of those kinds of missions. And she'd waited so long for it to FINALLY be the Hogsmeade weekend.
Finally.
She'd probably not really been listening to everything Cora had been saying on the way down here but she'd been nodding along anyway. Mhm. Sure. Yes. Now when would they finally DO THE THING???? Shivvy kept glancing at the rucksack on Cora's back, grinning to herself. Even now in that barely lit back alley her friend had dragged her into. "Huh?" Oh, apparently now was the time to tune back into what Cora was saying. "Yes! Yes, of course I do. Have you seen him?" She turned on the spot once, almost as if expecting him to just...be there in the alley with them. Which, of course, he wasn't. |

They were perfect partners in crime. She hadn't considered that to an outsider, they probably looked like a one extremely shaaaaady pair. She never considered much in general honestly.
She definitely hadn't considered the consequences of what they had planned. "Nah, but hopefully he'll be around soon." Because waiting was boring and she definitely didn't have the attention span for that. "Wanna give the goods a sniff??"

What else would they be doing with their time? Work? Pfft.
....wait, A SNIFF???? "NOOOOO!" Siobhán said WAY too loudly and even jumped away from Cora as if she'd offered to dump the contents of her rucksack on her head. "No." She then repeated in a whisper, remembering that they were supposed to be sneaky and quiet. "If he's not here, we can just do it on Nina." Good back-up plan in her eyes. |

She wasn't phased by Siobhán's reaction even if it was a tad over the top. It wasn't THAT bad. Authors note: it was really really really bad and she'd even tricked an older student to cast a warming charm on it so that the stench was even more potent.
Cora Dredworth was going to smell like she'd rolled around in barn muck for at least a fortnight.
"And if she's not here we can just dump it on a stranger." Because she really wasn't fussed about the WHO, it was going to be brilliant whoever the victim was. Getting the Headmaster was just an added bonus.

In case it hadn't been clear before, it was definitely very very obvious now that Siobhán O'Shea had absolutely never ever been on a stake-out. Or anything that would have required her to be super sneaky and super quiet. Nobody would look into this alley, though, right? Even if they heard someone YELLING. They were totally save. "THERE!" She tugged on Cora's sleeve excitedly and pointed to a certain someone walking past their alley on the main street. He was HERE.
Did that mean it was, as they said, showtime??? |

She didn't need all the sleeve pulling and exclamations, she'd seen it with her own two brown eyes. The target was right there, a mere stone's throw away, and they were about as inconspicuous as a wailing banshee in a library.
It only meant one thing really. They had to get this show on the road.
"Quick quick quick!!!" She had the rucksack off and unzipped in a flash and swiftly thrust the stinking homemade horror at Shivvy. "GO GO GO!!!"

Despite her father's affinity for Quidditch, Shivvy herself was NOT in fact skilled at catching or throwing balls. And the same applied to stinking things wrapped in pillow cases. Just what had given Cora the impression that Siobhán was going to CATCH this??? Without prior warning too.
So instead, Siobhán shrieked in surprise and flopped around with her hands, TRYING, really TRYING to catch the pillow case + content. But alas, she was just hit square in the chest with the whole thing, making her stumble backwards and eventually fall to the ground.
And the pillow case? That landed right next to her feet. |

| *crashes ‘cause y’all are loud little sneaks* Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite It....was definitely all the yelling that drew him to the alley. The yelling and, as he got closer, the sight of his students. The man could ignore most student noises but the shrieking had confirmed his need to take a look. Only thing was...now that he was here....he wasn’t sure what was going on.
One was on the ground. There was a pillowcase and another looking as adrenaline charged. A fight perhaps? It brought a scowl to the man’s face. He’d asked them all to be on their best behaviour. This was not their best behaviour. “Mind telling me what’s going on here?”
Did they want to be sent back to the castle? Because this was how you got sent back to the castle with Hogsmeade privileges revoked.

| connoisseur of comfort ❅ Crayola's Wibby Mrs Alex Turner ❅ Netflix and meow It seemed that everything that could've possibly went wrong, went wrong. Before she could drag Siobhán off her butt and back on her and check that the dung stuffed pillowcase was still intact, Trent was right there. "Nothing sir!" She chirped up brightly. Did he really think they would just own up to their mastermind plan!? "Shivvy and me were just working on a Herbology project." She offered her friend a hand up. "She really loves Herbology, just got a little over excited that's all."

| you two The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion Well, this couldn't have gone any...
...BETTER!
Siobhán was grinning as she scrambled to get to her feet when Trent joined them. This was perfect! She picked up their makeshift dungbomb on the way and held it to her chest, somehow managing to ignore the STANK coming from the pillowcase. Good luck getting that smell out of her clothes, house elves. Love youuuu. "Yes, Herbology. Do you want to see, Headmaster?" And with that said, Shivvy tossed the filled-to-the-brim-with-various-kinds-of-creature-dung-pillowcase at Headmaster Trent. That counted, right? It definitely counted in her eyes. Catch? |

Well...far be it for him t--whoa whoa whoa. Malachi took several steps back as the Gryffindor advanced, already being able to smell the contents of the pillowcase. That they were enthusiastic about school work was great but that didn't mean they had to share every detail so when said pillowcase went flying the man's wand was already up. Constant vigilance. It was a thing especially with that mist.
The Headmaster watched the dung slide off the near invisible shield and hit the ground of the alley. "Oh bother." He said, taking yet another step back and now casting a bubblehead charm to alleviate the smell. "Terribly clumsy luck, dear. Hopefully nothing you can't explain away to Professor Sutton." Honestly. They would have to honestly explain the issue with their homework.
Malachi looked down at it, shaking his head sympathetically despite not knowing the true nature of the assignment. Always a shame to see hard work wasted. "Well, no sense dwelling on it now. Let's you two get this cleaned up then head back to join your schoolmates." Couldn't just LEAVE this mess. Certainly not.

| islay/jess and whoever else ?? *ahem* YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Whatever was a prefect doing in the Back Alley of Hogsmeade? One might argue that she was merely patrolling and making sure no ickles had been back there trying to sneak into the wizarding village without a permission form. But Carsyn Rose was not doing that, although she would have told a professor she was if asked. No, the fifth year was actually admiring the Christmas decor back here, as strange as it sounded.
That and it was weirdly relaxing for the normally extroverted fifth year to be out of the bustling streets and have some silence to think. |

"Whatcha doing?" the second year called out L O U D L Y as she walked into the little... alleyway? Corridor? Sideyard? Bernie couldn't help how loud her voice was; it was just echoey back here. Also, whatever Carsyn was doing, could she HELPPPP?

| ooc: sorry for being late - had internet issues HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED Islay hadn’t been to Hogsmeade all that much, but of the times she had been there it was brilliant. The utter joy the townsfolk had with their Christmas lights and the cheer was brilliant. It was enough to just made her smile.
As she stepped down an alleyway so she could get a glance at the lights around them she couldn’t help but stop when she heard a voice…ah the second year Bernie was there. ”hello,” she smiled over to the younger girl before giving another like nod of hello to Carsyn. ”are you running patrols?...that can’t be all that fun, not being able to really enjoy Hogsmeade and working through the weekend instead?” she asked her accent had always seemed to be more welsh whenever she spoke to Carsyn.
She felt like she could understand her and would get it.

She felt like she could understand her and would get it. Eh... Landen wasn't the one to follow rules anyways, what were the point of having rules if they were made to be broken? He probably broken almost every rule in Hogwarts and probably then some, honestly what's the worse they could do give him a detention? The thought of it made him laugh, he spent alot of time in detention alot over his time at Hogwarts, but his time with Islay he been quite good. Yes... you heard right, Landen Winters been good lately that was a shocker.
Walking around boredly getting his mind away from the crowd and the annoying first years seeing Hogsmeade for the first time, he rolled his eyes. Ugh... get him away from the sanity before he ripped his eyes out. Waking away from the chatter and the craziness he headed towards the back alley. Eh... he knew no one really came this way so peace and quiet.
He didn't know what was such a big deal about here, sure it was dark but honestly was it that bad? His green eyes wondering around he seen Islay with the Gryffindor Prefect and some second year. " You know Mopey if your looking for more mops and broomsticks, you don't have to look in the alley like a bum." Although he said it in a teasing voice and manner smirking. Looking at the prefect and second year he nodded at them.
